After completing the ritual bath together, Arini and Dodi immediately return to their room to get dressed. Dodi was wearing her own clothes, as was Arini.
Dodi glanced at Arini who was cool wearing her negligee. The man showed Arini's negligee looking broad at the bottom of his armpit. Suddenly Dodi remembered Arini's request this morning about the new clothes that his wife wanted to buy.
Dodi approached Arini who was standing in front of her makeup mirror. He hugged his wife from behind and then kissed the top of her head many times.
"Darling, your negligence is hollow" Dodi told Arini as he touched the hollow part of the negligee.
Arini raised her hand and yes, her negligee was indeed hollow right under her armpits. "Mas's right, I didn't see it." Arini looked timid then broke Dodi's embrace so that he could replace his negligee with another, which is not hollow of course.
"Why do you keep such a hole, Arini?" dodi asked when she saw Arini putting her hole negligee into place.
"Can still be stitched, Mas. Anyway the negligee is still good and the hole is just a little, really."
Dodi nodded. "Yes already then. Oh yeah, how about your new shirt? Been purchased?" ask Dodi again.
Arini was silent for a moment. He was confused on how to tell Dodi the matter. If Dodi finds out and gets angry with Bu Nining, Arini will be affected. Ms. Nining must have called herself a fightman, just like always.
"Will?" call Dodi, because his wife was silent while looking at him blankly.
"Ehm, actually .. I've asked Mom for the money. But Mom said my clothes can still be sewed and instead of buying, it's better to just stitch it," said Arini.
"Geez, Mom!" Without a second thought, Dodi immediately exited their room and walked towards Bu Nining's room.
"Mas, wait!" Arini rushed after Dodi after he finished changing his negligee.
"Mother! Mama!" call Dodi while quickly stepping into Bu Nining's room. Upon arriving at the door of the room, Dodi immediately knocked on it.
"Mom, open the door. I want to talk" call Dodi again.
Lady Nining, who was lying on her bed, immediately got up and walked towards the door while grumbling. "Yes, Dodi. A minute!" replied Ms. Nining.
"Hmm, I'm sure Arini must have complained to Dodi about her request that I didn't grant. You useless woman! It's usually a complaint, "groan.
Slowly Bu Nining opened the door of her room and there was Dodi standing before the middle-aged woman with an annoyed face.
"What the hell is it, Dodi? Just make me shocked," continued Bu Nining while bending her face.
"Heh, I already know. This must be about Arini, right?!" ms. Nining replied with an annoyed face.
"Yes, this is about Arini." Dodi stopped her steps right beside Bu Nining's bed. He turned around and now looked at Bu Nining who had come closer to him.
"Basic of the madam! What did your barren wife say, Dodi?" madam Bu Nining.
"He never complained, Mom. I asked him and he answered what he was. Is that wrong?!" sahut Dodi's.
"Why do you always defend that barren woman, Dodi? I'm sure you must have gotten Arini's pellet, right?! Even you would rather defend that woman than your own mother" Bu Nining replied in annoyance.
"There are no pellets here, ma'am. But it was Mom who had gone too far with Arini. He's just asking for a little bit of my paycheck, Mom. Why didn't Mom give it to her? Me and Arini did agree to the terms that I proposed first, but it's not like this either, Mom!" pissed Dodi.
So upset, Dodi even brought up the issue of their agreement first with Bu Nining. A year ago, Ms. Nining asked Dodi to divorce Arini for not getting pregnant. However, because Dodi prefers to keep Arini, Bu Nining gives the condition that the entire salary of Dodi, he who holds and regulates it.
Dodi finally agrees, and so does Arini. Inevitably, Arini was forced to let Bu Nining manage all their finances. However, Arini did not expect that the terms ended up suffocating her greatly.
Miss Nining, who was upset, walked over to the wardrobe. He reaches for a wallet, where he keeps Dodi's entire salary. After the wallet was in his hands, Bu Nining then threw the wallet and fell right beside Bu Nining.
"Take it! Take everything! Let him be satisfied," annoyed Bu Nining.
Ms. Nining came to the bed and lay there with her back to Dodi. Dodi's pinching his temple. He was confused as to how it should be now. On one side was his mother and on the other side was Arini.
Dodi grabs the wallet and puts it back in Bu Nining's closet. "Next month, I'll split my salary in half. Half for Mom and half for Arini" said Dodi.
After saying that, Dodi rushed away and left Bu Nining who was still upset in her room. When Dodi opened the door, Arini was waiting for her with a worried and guilty face.
"Arini, you?!" tekik Dodi after realizing the whereabouts of his wife.
"Mas" said Arini.
Dodi smiled wryly. He grabbed Arini's shoulder and then took the woman back to their room.
